Sidewalk To Be Dedicated To Cancer Patients

Here's something cool I just received a news release about: A section of sidewalk running parallel to Grand Boulevard at the Manito Park entry will be dedicated this week. It runs from 17th Ave. through 21st Ave. and is called the 'Walk of Hope.' The sidewalk is meant to benefit cancer patients by giving them a year-round place of beauty and rest, a reason to stroll through beautiful Manito Park, and especially a tangible activity to celebrate their own journey to wellness (taken word for word from the press release, as you can tell).

The sidewalk is sponsored by the Friends of Manito, City of Spokane Parks and Recreation Department, Providence Regional Cancer Center and Cancer Patient Care’s Board of Directors.
